--- Comment #5 from A (Andy) <stgohi-lob...@yahoo.de> ---
Reproducible with LO 4.4.0.0.beta1 and 4.3.4.1 (Win 8.1).
But the MID function is a text function
(https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Text_Functions).
It extracts a text string out of a text and therefore the result is a text (LO
Help: "Returns a text string of a text.":
https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Text_Functions#MID).
Therefore, I would mark it not as a bug.
I thought about where there could maybe be a need to extract a number out of a
larger number or text and I could there maybe think of a Personal ID Code or
other generated codes where you need to extract a number.
In this respect it is interesting to see, that LO can already calculate with
the text string result and if you add a number calculates a correct sum/number.
Therefore, I would mark it is an enhancement request that either the MID
function can also return a number as one further feature or implement a further
similiar function that returns a number.
